Q: mysterious deabilitating groin pain
asked by: jlav on February 6th, 2008

Hello, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
For a little over a year and a half I have bad a nagging pain in my groin, similar to having been struck in the testicles. Over time the pain has icreased to at worst making it very difficult and in some cases impossible to walk.
Last year I approached my doctor with this pain, and the past year has been a roller coaster with exams and tests. I have had an ultrasound, MRI, CAT scan and bone scan. I have been examined by three surgeons from Sholdice institute and ruled out a hernia. I have also been examined by two urologists and a couple of doctors as well as one other surgeon who believe they have ruled out osteitis pubis.

As for the tests, there have been no abnormalities in all of the tests, though the ultrasound showed a slight vericose blockage in my left gonad, though I have had children, and the CAT scan verified that I still have spondilolisthesis in my L-5.

So I am posting here in hopes that somebody may recognize my symptoms and have an idea what I may have going on. My doctor is currently doing research along the same lines in medical databases looking for similar cases.

Here are my symptoms:
Pain centering in my frontal pubis, under/behind my testicles, that radiates a shooting pain into my groin and abdomen. My inner thighs will burn, with shooting pains, after walking only a few hundred yards and the resultant limp may be responsible for the shooting pains around my side into my lower back, where I have the spondilolisthesis. All of this pain is almost exclusively on my right side.

I do not have pain during intercourse, urinating or during erection. There is a slight grinding in my hip when on my knees, at certain angles. If this rings any bells with people, please let me know. I am a timberframe carpenter and have been lifting very heavy beams for the past 2-3 years.
Thanks in advance,
-Josh-

Ya know I've had a similar problem, I guess it started 2 or so years ago, when I'd get an erection and then not "follow threw" so to speak there would be sharp coursing pain in my testicles and pelvis. It seemed to go away after a year but just lately when I walk to and from classes my right testicle is in aching pain, and the pain goes into my pelvis and down my legs like cramps. I've been checked out by my doctor and he can't find anything wrong and anytime something goes wrong I feel like I overreact, I've only had sex with one person in the past 3 years because I'm paranoid about getting something or trusting anyone.

It's weird because I'm only 23 and I feel like I'm sick or in paint all the time one way or another.

I am having the same problem
I too having the same problem. When i walk for 5 minutes the pain is increasing. Initially i had pain in my outerside of the left thigh and slowly it grown to a burning sensation. now the pain spreaded to my left testicle. I am having pain in left thighs, testis and the lower back too. I dont find any solution. I believe there will some medication in Indian Ayurvedic or siddha medicines or by the yoga techniques. Can any one help me. I am suffering from this problem for the past 1.5 months.

As an update, 2 years later:

Part of my issues were found to be a cracked disc in my lower back. The vertical pressure of lifting and twisting essentially produced openings in the disc that allowed fluid from the internal part of my spine to "squish" out against nerves. I still cannot lift much weight, but undergoing traction treatments on my spine has made it so I can walk again and even get back into some of my sports again. Ideally, spinal decompression would be the best but expensive option for me according to some conflicting physicians.

Strange side effects still unresolved would be the gradual and now obvious appearance of vericose veins in my inner thighs.

Random shooting pains vertically from groin area into abdomen .
I have had the same pain you describe for 6 months now.

One doctor ruled out hernia, another ruled out testicular cancer.

One THINKS it is a pulled or torn abductor muscle which runs from below the scrotum, up to the top of the hip.

I have been undergoing deep tissue massage and doing physical therapy and things have gotten slightly worse, but no better at all.

None of these so called doctors has run a C.T. scan, M.R.I. or even an ultrasound because they have to follow insurance protocol!

Ridiculous!

I could have appendicitis or worse, testicular cancer and all these people want to do is follow PROTOCOL!!

Best of luck to you and the other 3 people that replied.

Keep us updated.

Thanks.
